Ella is the hill country’s most beloved town – a small, open village perched at over 1,000 metres with views across a wide green valley that stretches to the distant plains. Its iconic Nine Arches Bridge, the trail to Little Adam’s Peak, and the surrounding network of tea estate walks make it a natural centre for highland exploration. The food scene, the café culture, and the quality of the small boutique lodges dotted across the surrounding hillsides have made it one of Sri Lanka’s most deservedly popular destinations. An excellent centre for two or three days of highland living.
